Electronic Information Management Standards

This issue area will promote the Federal-wide adoption of the DOD 5015.2-STD, based on broad interest and use of the standard. The standard is maintained by DOD and includes features consistent with many of the recommendations received through the Federal Register where draft renditions are published for comment as new versions are developed. OSD and DOD Components' RMAs are mandated to be certified DOD 5015.2-STD compliant. As part of the ERM Initiative, NARA, through NARA Bulletin 2003-03, has recommended that all Federal agencies use the DoD standard and the DoD-certified products as a baseline when selecting an RMA to manage the agency's electronic records.
